If aliens were to study us based on intercepted TV signals, the first thing they'd think is, "George Lucas really should have just stopped after Jedi." But I'm pretty sure the second thing they'd think is that 20-something human males are the douchebags of the universe.

Before you get all mad, understand that I'm not calling you that, and I don't believe that guys in their 20s are douchebags myself. What I'm saying is that television has a way of taking the worst of our society and holding it up as a representation of the average. It scares the sh*t out of me when I think that after millions of years of organic sculpting, The Situation could very well be the first impression that otherworldly life gets of mankind. Guys like that are how you're being presented to the rest of the world.

What baffles me is that, from personal experience, the least-represented demographic of males also happens to be the largest. We're not the guys with gelled, slicked-back hair. You won't find us at the club five nights a week. When we talk to a woman, we don't mentally drape a finish line over her ass.

Approaching Women: How We Really Feel

It's not that we think that partying and living a faster lifestyle is a bad thing; we like to go out just like everyone else. We just don't make that who we are. We don't enjoy large drunken crowds yelling over deafening music. We don't like the awkwardness and tension involved in meeting a woman for the first time. And we sure as hell don't like to base our night's attire on what message it sends out. The idea of someone defining our personalities by the shirt we're wearing is enough to make us roll our eyes, lock the door and spend the night watching Dr. Who in our underwear.There is, however, a major drawback to being an average homebody. When you strip away things like bars and parties, your ability to meet a woman is extremely crippled. Where the hell do you even go to find a woman if not on a dance floor, swimming in a sea of sweaty dudes with orange spray-on tans?For us, the key is the internet, and I'm not talking about making an account on eHarmony. By the way, I'm convinced that its spokesperson is one of the aforementioned aliens, or at least one of its cyborg indentured servants, sent to collect data on the failures of social interaction. But I digress.Some of the most successful relationships I've ever seen, including my own, have started out on website forums. There's a logical reason behind it. The sites we frequent are obviously tailored to our personal interests. If you're a fan of dressing up in medieval costumes and fighting your friends with wooden swords, chances are there's a website devoted to that exact thing. If it has a forum, it's going to be filled with people who share your mildly unsettling fantasies. Not all of those people are going to be male.
